Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in the Leicester City midfielder Bilal El Khannouss.
According to TBR football, they are keeping tabs on the 21-year-old midfielder, and they could look to make a move for him during the summer window. Ange Postcoglou was keen on the player as well.
El Khannouss set for a big move?
The technically gifted midfielder will be tempted to move to Tottenham if they come forward with an offer to sign him. The foxes have been relegated to the championship, and the young midfielder will be tempted to return to the Premier League. Tottenham could provide him with the platform to showcase his qualities at a high level.
He has the technical attributes to play for a big club, and it remains to be seen where he ends up. Newcastle United, Arsenal and Leeds United are monitoring his situation as well.
Graeme Bailey claimed on TBR: “El Khannouss is a fascinating player – very similar to Rayan Cherki in terms of talent. Many clubs rate him as one of the finest technicians of his generation.”
Tottenham could use Bilal El Khannouss
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can finalise the deal. They need more cutting-edge and technical ability in the final third, and the 21-year-old would be a solid long-term acquisition. He is capable of slotting anywhere in the final third, and he will help create opportunities for his teammates.
Tottenham managed to win the UEFA Europa League season, but they were disappointing in the Premier League. They will look to bounce back strongly in the league next season, and they need quality signings.
James Maddison has faced criticism for his inconsistencies, and having another creator would be ideal. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can sign the Leicester City midfielder. He is young enough to improve further, and Spurs could nurture him into a future star.
